9/11-related attack on the u.s. consulate that actually had nothing to do with the outrage over the anti-muslim film? >> well, it was clearly a planned attack. you could tell that by the tactics and the weapons that were involved. small arms, automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and infantry tactics. it's likely that the consulate was a target of opportunity and that the mob-related activity there was a good cover for the attack. so tactics demonstrated was planned. but it was probably hastily planned in any case. >> sir, you say a target of opportunity. why wasn't this consulate more secure? should it have been? >> oh, yeah, sure. your guess is as good as mine. i think that the state department has a lot to answer for. this should have been secured. don't forget this is a consulate away from the capital in a country that is just undergone a violent revolution in which we participated, by the way. there's no excuse for the place not being better secured.
